Tanks Mark! I could not have had a better purchase experience. I got there and said im ready to buy today, gave them the specs i wanted and told them to give me a good price. He came back with a first offer of $45.8K! :eek: - when i saw it i couldnt help but smile lol! I told him $45.5K and after going back to check we ended up shaking hands on the $45.5K.
The lowest i got with other dealers was $48 and $46.5 (with a lot talking and pushing on from my end though).
And now coming off the high of retail therapy and on to the long wait. Sigh. Don't you wish the months skip by quickly to Aug/Sep?
My wait is coming to an end in a couple of weeks time. Should have it end of Mar.
Yep its going to be a painfull 5-6 months :( Ah well it will be well worth while in the end!
Its good to see the 5-6 month delievery period seems to be consistent with the Golf GTI's at least :) Good luck with your GTI mate!
thats still a 6 month wait, are they doing deals on current 2010 stock that they "might" have on the floor?Quote:

thanks to milosh for the headsup from his contact. ill be calling them up tomorrow to see what they have avail in terms of gtis
anyway, i called up bill buckle, as ive been there a few times inquiring and test driving the polo gti, and asked about a red my09 gti demo (1800km). its got $41990 on it, ridiculous imo, no options, nothing. and they said they have a my10 black for $47k and a white 3dr man with mdi on the boat, due in 2months for $44k.
i lol and said, is that as good as it gets, and told them ill let them know, but ill definitely call around. i guess some people dont like selling cars. i fully understand that it was just a phone call, but they didnt seem at all interested nor did they call back in a hurry, in fact i left messages the previous days and they took til the late afternoon to get in contact with me as i was driving home from work.
either way, ill give the melb dealer a call.
When I was buying I called Bill Buckle, outlined what I was looking for. Never got a phone call back but DID get added to their spam list so now receive email updates on their 'great sale events' across all their vehicle lines. I reckon thats just rude.
My first quote...:
Golf GTI - thinking maybe Red (nobody here seems to have ordered one in Red...)
-DSG
-Bluetooth
-MDI
-Leather
-Bi-xenon
-ACC
-18" Detroits (are 18" Motosports available?)
-Dark tint
-RVC
$52,000 drive away incl corporate discount.
I figure if I axe the ACC I could possibly get it for flat $50K, but then $52 seems ok to me.
Is the RVC definitely available without the sat nav? (dealer was confused as his options list says: "Reversing Camera (only with Sat Nav)"
Yes, RVC is available with the standard RCD510 (Non Sat Nav)Quote:

anyway, they do have a 3dr white man on a boat that has been assigned to their dealership and will arrive in about 6-8 weeks. i asked what options, he said tint, mdi. i said, excellent, thats me. whats the ballpark. he said $40k. but he needs to talk to the dealership as although its part of their company, its another state.
either way, ill be getting a call tomorrow,and undoubtedly putting money down asap.
if its $40k, then thats a little over 10% discount. ill be hitting up the rear cargo mat and the weathershields as well for $40k, plus busines rego
i was originally planning on getting near new, demo, 2nd hand, but the idiots out there selling their 5k km+ cars are wanting low $40s for them, why would i even bother when i can get a brand new for less.
anyway, another question. the wheel pcd is 5x112 +50. im looking at the bbs lm in most probably 19x8.5 +38. will this fit? running a 235/35/19 tyre. it wont be lowered initially, so im guessing it will be fine.
